Jack in Wonderland
Chapter 3
Well this really sucks! I'm at a freakin' awesome hotel that totally rules but it's like 6:40 in the morning where I am now. I need to get back to sleep, but I can't seem to, so I shall write this story!

Jack was carried away in the large pool of the shrinking drink, making sure not to drink any (he was already too tiny for his liking). But, luckily for Jack, the waters calmed much more as he got further down into the sea. As he lazily floated near a bank, Jack saw a party of … of citizens of Halloween Town! "Oh this is just fantastic," Jack exclaimed, meaning every word of it. Jack rushed down, but was surprised at how his friends greeted him.
"Well, hello stranger," said the clown with the tear away face, in a tone that seemed much kinder and friendlier then his regular did.
"Stranger? My dear friend, I am no stranger to you! I am Jack! The Pumpkin King," Jack said, quite worriedly.
" Nice to meet you," the Vampire brother chorused in together.
"This must be some cruel joke or something. How could none of my fellow town citizens not know who I am," Jack thought to himself.
" The poor man is all wet from the great sea as are many of ourselves. What will we do" the corpse kid chimed in.
" Hmm…. I know! A race! We shall have a Carcass—Race," shouted the saxophone player from Halloween Town's local band (author's note—this is a pun. If you did not get it, here is the explanation—In the story Alice in Wonderland, to dry themselves off, the animals have a Caucus—Race and since the Halloween town people are dead or something close to that, I chose to change Caucus to Carcass which means the body of a dead animal. BACK TO THE STORY!) . So, he drew out a big circular track and they all began to race. But, Jack quickly found that many people dropped out and came back at very different times.
"Hmm…. That must be the difference between a normal race and a Carcass—Race," Jack thought as he ran. Once everyone was dried off, they all stopped and came together in a large cluster.
"And now," the saxophone player shouted over the crowd. "I shall announce the winner! The winner of the Carcass—Race is…."
Who will the winner be? Find…Out…Next Time!
